Econ100 provides:

1. Quiz: 40 multiple choice questions on most chapters organized in four levels. Take a quiz every week to test your progress. When you take a quiz, you get instant responses.

Level 1 tests whether you know the terms and concepts. Take this quiz if you are having trouble remembering definitions and concepts.

Level 2 tests your ability to use terms and concepts.

Level 3 is more challenging and tests whether you can use economic theory to do calculations and make predictions. In most schools, you can get an 'A' if you can deal with level 2 and level 3 questions.

Level 4 is quite challenging. It tests whether you can use economic theory to do calculations and make predictions in more complicated situations. Take this quiz only if you have a high score on level 3.
